integral of (4-2x)^3

integral

(4 - 2 x)^{3}

- \frac{1}{8} (4 - 2 x)^{4} + C

Solution steps

\int (4 - 2 x)^{3} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int - \frac{u ^{3}}{2} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int u^{3} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{u ^{4}}{4}

Substitute back

u = 4 - 2 x

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{( 4 - 2 x ) ^{4}}{4}

Simplify

- \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{( 4 - 2 x ) ^{4}}{4} : - \frac{1}{8} (4 - 2 x)^{4}

= - \frac{1}{8} (4 - 2 x)^{4}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{8} (4 - 2 x)^{4} + C
